It's a pretty astonishing result to be fair.
But will they back it up or is it the usual “as long as we beat England”? Backed up by a crowd who love to chant Wales but won’t turn up to watch a region play.
Oooh, those grapes must be sour. 😂

They did a world class job of getting under Eng's skins.
Not arguing with that, England were pathetic and choked. But it’s pretty pathetic to see players getting that wild about a single result. It really doesn’t bode well for the Welsh game at all.

Massive underdogs go bonkers after upsetting huge odds shocker

Almost as big a choke as Fra snrs v Eng although the U20s at least have the excuse of immaturity. Welsh game is f**ked and maybe they know it too so will take whatever they can? i.e. you and they are looking at the same picture?

JB. Yeah. Been several times. Bit of a nonsense that you can spit from the Parc des Princes to there though.

Putting your arms up when scoring for your country is one thing, bellowing like an idiot for anything, including a knock on, is something else

If Sco hooker had been any further infield for that throw, he'd needed to throw it over his shoulders to his team mates.

I think the pack totally outplayed the French 8. Some outstanding French backs though who took advantage of our back lines lack of grunt.

Now to work out how many kids’ films I will have to sit through tomorrow to avoid watching Wales plucky underdogs beat Itoje’s whoopers tomorrow.

Hoping for a French championship

Not sure what you are upset about here even though Ire ended up last. The comment was aimed at the Fre selection and attitude towards the game.

Some positives to take out of that tournament for the Scottish lads. Got better as the tournament progressed, good win v Wales, great performance last night. Some good prospects coming through, on to the U20 World Cup now, just need to make sure we stay in the top level.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?
